Editorial See other Editorial Articles Title: Big Easy to Big Empty The shocking details of what actually caused the city of New Orleans to flood so severely and lose over 80% of its buildings. Excerpts from the film by Greg Palast. 1. While the new media was talking about levees being "topped," it knew that some of the levees had in fact totally collapsed. Remember this the next time you are tempted to rely on the news media and the government for information on any subject, life and death or not. The The Truth About New Orleans and America's Infrastructure Mission accomplished Mr. President In the chaos and trauma that accompanied the levee collapses in New Orleans in 2005, a few basic facts were obscured: * Katrina was not a natural disaster. It was an engineering disaster caused by the federally funded U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Specifically: 1. The Bush administration did an extremely effective job of withholding vital "life and death" information that levees had not only topped, they had also catastrophically collapsed. Incompetence? Poor planning? You've got to be kidding.... The Bush administration wanted to destroy the black Democratic voting block in New Orleans - and it did. New Orleans and southern Louisiana, one of the last Democratic hold outs in the South, is Republican now. It wanted a justification for seizing guns and declaring martial law and succeeded in creating conditions where people would beg for military intervention. It wanted practice holding large numbers of civilians in concentration camp-like conditions - and it got the opportunity. It wanted to obscure the fact that instead of using the tax dollars it's collected over the decades to repair and maintain levees, it's used the money to engage in illegal foreign wars. Mission accomplished on every score. But they made one miscalculation. So conditioned were administration planners by their own habitual depravity, it never occurred to them that the rest of the country would object to seeing their fellow citizens suffer so outrageously at the hands of the government. The good news is the moral instincts of Americans still function well. The bad news is their ability to see what is being done to them in broad daylight is highly impaired.
